October 28, 2018 Barcelona Sunday 28th
Steve and Hannah arrive later today, so we set of for
Montjuic to see the Mies van der Rohe Pavillion, Sue is a big fan of Mies’
work. Montjuic is a hill that overlooks
Barcelona. We will visit a couple of
other sites on Montjuic with S&H later in the week. The Mies Pavillion is an example of his
Minimalist style. We visited the CaixaForum
(this is how it is spelled) because there was a Toulouse-Lautrec Exhibition. I of course took WAY TOO MANY photos. This is why I haven’t posted recently,
because it takes time to add comments to the photos. I’ll stop here, because I complain about this
every trip about this same thing.
We met Hannah and Steve as they got off the Aerobus from the
airport. They were tired after a long
day/night of flying: Chicago-Munich, 3 hour layover then Munich-Barcelona. But being the troopers they are, after
dropping off their luggage, taking a shower it was off to a tapas bar to
eat. After that we took them to the
Obama Pub to finish off the evening. As
it turns out, we had drunk them out of our favorite Belgian beer, but we managed to
get by.
Tomorrow early evening, Miro and Cathy, Steve’s dad and wife
Cathy arrive. Since it’s Tuesday as I
write this we’ve joined up for tapas and drinks already, but that is for
another post.
